French term or phrase: Indice brut d'utilisation du sol (IBUS)
This is a measurement under the Swiss SIA 416 norm.
Is there an exact translation and acronym in English or a gloss on this?

C'est d'ailleurs, notamment pour ces difficultés d'interprétation que le législateur valaisan a introduit la notion d'IBUS à la place de la notion de SBPu.

I have used TUFA (total useful floor area) for SBPu.

Please only answer if you know, no guesses!

You will come across the acronyms GFAR and FAR if you search "gross floor area ratio" + "GFAR" or "floor area ratio" + "FAR".
